Next Tuesday evening, at the Sixth street

mandolin and guitar players, from Madrid,
is making an American tour under the
auspices of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau
OF Boston and Chicago, and come to this
city under engagement with the Young
Peoples Union of the Sixth street Church.
In addition to the concert which will be
not only novel but delightful in its musi-
cal excellence, Edward X. Hood, the Bos-
ton humorist, will give amusing and pa
thetic dramatic representations An East
journal, speaking of one of the entertain
ments given by the combination, remarks !:
The whole programme was well rem
dered. The eyes were pleased as well as
the ears, the beauty of the senoritas and the
careless grace of the dons adding great
deal to the attractiveness of the entertain
meut. While the music seemed rather
high pitched and piercing, yet there was
wierd beauty about it that fascinated.
One moment If was shrill and wild. the
next sweet and plaintive. The best num-
Der on the programme was the Spanish
Eolian, by Senorita Terval. The nature
of the instrument allowed the performer
to display TO advantage the perfect grace for
which her race is famous The Spanish
Orange Dance and the selection from
Norma were also remarkably good. All
the music was difficult, and the perfect
time kept by the players, especially in the
maZourka, was notable. Mr.. Hood showed
himself good elocutionist and an excel
lent impersonator, and his selections were

to New York occasionally to take

his ventures. For instance, the day met
him was bear day on Wall street, and,
following raid, things were blue. He
